Abstract
A method for automatically alerting, via an active noise reducing device having a sensor, a user to a predetermined or learned trigger in an external environment includes the steps of: (i) receiving, via the sensor while the active noise reducing device is in a first noise reduction mode, sensor data from the external environment; (ii) identifying, from the sensor data, the predetermined or learned trigger in the external environment; and (iii) automatically providing an alert to the user, in response to detection of the trigger, indicating the predetermined or learned trigger in the external environment, wherein the alert comprises entering a second operating mode of the active noise reducing device, the second operating mode characterized by providing hear-through of ambient sound in the external environment to the user.
